    All I have to say, is that there's a pretty good reason why people are shocked that guys like the new My Little Pony. :P

    Girlfriend and I are arguing about MLP. She's disgusted with the new series. Says the pony designs are hurtful. She admits it's a nostalgia thing, but she's annoyed that I watch it and like it and don't care about her old ponies or that she doesn't like the new show.

    TL;DR Girl sees new ponies as an affront to God and the 80s. Should I prepare the orbital friendship cannon? y/n?

    I gotta ask: when was the last time she actually watched the old show. I ask because this sounds like a serious case of Nostalgia Goggles.

    Kind of like I had for "Captain N and the Game Masters", before I found it again.

    Edit: yes I see the part about her admitting to nostalgia, but I think my question is still valid.

    Yeah, this sounds very much like someone Taking Things Too Seriously.

    I'm going to be generous though, and suggest that maybe it was just a poor choice of words.

    Explain that your taste and hers are very different on this issue, and that she shouldn't take a cartoon so seriously.

    Hah, okay yeah. It was just meant as a joke in bad taste not meant to be taken seriously. I wasn't sure if that would fly well in the first place, so I'll just edit that out.

    That only balances out 2/3'ds of the misogyny.

    Goatmon's joke and the situation in general.

    It was funny; it contained the power of laughter.
    It was true; it contained the power of honesty.
    There is no violence, only acceptance; it contained the power of kindness.
    It gives the benefit of the doubt; it contained the power of generosity.
    He still stays with her; it contained the power of loyalty.
    The girlfriend stays with the guy who likes My Little Pony; Magic.

    Man, Opal (Rarity's kitty) is the one critter from MLP: FiM that looks weird to me. Almost all of the other creatures, pony and non-pony alike, are perfectly adorable; but Opal is simultaneously cute yet vaguely creepy-looking to me.

    I think it's the football head.

    She's got a scarred eye and a kitty in her lap.

    It's a James Bond villain, duh. That whole theme is a complete cliche at this point.

    As to which villain specifically, I wouldn't know. I'm not even sure the picture itself is a specific character reference.
